Made some more sisters with bad habits. Prompt in the form of

> Photo portrait of a sister with a bad habit (_x_) in an arcade. 9:16

Licks toads, drinking problem, gambling  
Serious sweet tooth, really into the chaw, really into the blow  
Stoner, meth, shrooms

[![](https://i.imgur.com/iFgMgxG.jpeg) ](https://i.imgur.com/iFgMgxG.jpeg)

And a couple of deviations from the format

> Photo portrait of a sister with a drinking problem (she misses her mouth. She’s splashing herself in the face with a glass of water like that scene in the movie Airplane) in an arcade. 9:16

[![](https://i.imgur.com/vWQ9uBn.jpeg) ](https://i.imgur.com/vWQ9uBn.jpeg)

> Photo portrait of a sister with her upper lip covered with powdered sugar (from doughnuts) in an arcade. 9:16

(This was made in Copilot because it rejected “blow”. Sora had no problem making a cokehead.)

It is obviously basing the apparent age on context clues.

Trying to influence ages through various fandoms. Format is

In ChatGPT, I tried:

> Photo portrait of a sister with a bad habit (exhibitionist) in an arcade. 9:16

It almost immediately changed the chat title to be “Inappropriate request denial”. But it _kept generating_ for a while. It actually got through all its separate stages before the user starts to see the image slowly rendering from top to bottom. I was starting to see a picture of a nun down to just past her eyes before the rest of it caught up and blanked the image.

Just tried that in Sora. It refused before starting rendering.

ETA: also tried it in Gemini:

[![](https://i.imgur.com/VhJcGGi.jpeg) ](https://i.imgur.com/VhJcGGi.jpeg)

Midjourney has a rather identifiable default female face (back around v3/v4 we would called her “Midge” out of pronouncing MJ as a word) and it appears that Copilot does as well. I see that MJ’s leans more conventionally attractive with a heart shaped face, high cheeks and and sharper chin whereas Copilot’s is more oval in shape and a bit plainer in features. No point or conclusion, just observation.

I briefly tried Flux after downloading the model and VAE into A111 as I found instructions for but it didn’t work. Most instructions seemed to imply that I need to use Comfy which I’ve no interest in but I’ll poke around and see if there’s other options.

I wonder if the arcade background is coding for a more youthful person? Sure, you can ask for “grandparent in an arcade”. But does “person in an arcade” lean towards a teen or 20-something person more than a 40- or 50-yo person?

Which also goes to the general question of what age are “persons” with no other qualifiers or priming backgrounds? Clearly anything from an infant to an octogenarian is a reasonable interpretation of “person”. But I suspect an artifact of the training data is that “person” skews to late teen to young adult absent anything else to steer the conversation.

Not especially. Ironically, MJ gave a younger average for “Girl” as a plain portrait than in an arcade. The rest look about the same.

Okay, I went hog wild with this experiment. The general format is “Photo portrait of a sister in _x_. 9:16”

Not in arcade, outside arcade, outside Arcadia, Folsom Prison

And, filed under “miscellaneous” I had also tonight (for reasons) done this prompt

> **Summary**

They are in a cycad forest with an erupting volcano in the far background. Iphone 15 photo with shallow dof and forced perspective.

so I made a sister version
